Chapter 498: Touching the Melons with the Vine
In fact, when Anthony left, Duanmu Huai had been following him, relying on the skills of the crow guards, Anthony of course would not have been able to find Duanmu Huai.
To put it bluntly, Duanmu Huai is fishing with Anthony to enforce the law.
Duanmu Huai didn't care about this, after all, the players said that one of the three artifacts in this world is a friend.
Friends are not used for pits, why keep them?
But now that this guy has come out, Duanmu Huai is naturally not welcome!
ββββββββοΌοΌοΌβ
The monster that was attacked by Duanmu Huai also suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then stood up from the ground, twitching its nose to face Duanmu Huai. However, it has not been hit by the SAN value as a result......... The reason is simple, this thing doesn't have eyes at all! Naturally, it is impossible to see Duanmu Huai!
"W-what the hell is this?"
At this moment, with the help of the light of the flashlight, Anthony also saw the appearance of the monster clearly, and suddenly screamed in shock. I saw that under the light of the flashlight, they could clearly see in front of them that it was a humanoid monster almost one person tall, its body and limbs were similar to humans, only the head and its weirdnessβββ its head only had a mouth, and the part above the nose was nothing, and it looked very weird. Especially when it opens its mouth to reveal its tongue and teeth, it feels even more weird.
The monster's fingers are very long, like dry branches, which makes people feel disgusting.
Not only that, but the monster's body shook for a moment, and then it turned into a transparent form again, disappearing into the darkness, only the sound of rapid footsteps hovering back and forth on their sides.
"What now?"
If Anthony was alone, he might have been on the verge of collapse at this moment. But fortunately, Duanmu Huai was still by his side, so Anthony also hurriedly leaned against Duanmu Huai, looking around vigilantly, and asked at the same time.
"Don't worry, a bunch of brutes, just kill them."
In the face of Anthony's inquiry, Duanmu Huai seemed quite calm, and if someone else said this, Anthony might not be at ease, but think about the scene where Duanmu Huai smashed the other party directly out just now......... Well, Anthony thinks this big man is still very reliable in his words.
"Smack! Smack! Smack!! β
At the same time, the monster hidden in the darkness once again accelerated its pace and rushed towards the two of them, and then it roared angrily, and suddenly emerged from the side of Duanmu Huai, screaming and stretching out its claws, stabbing Duanmu Huai's chest!
"!!"
However, in the face of the monster's blow, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and then suddenly raised his right hand and threw a punch, directly hitting the monster's head. Then slammed it to the ground. Only a pop was heard, and then Anthony saw the monster's head scattered and split directly on the ground like an apple under Duanmu Huai's fist, turning into several pieces.
The monster let out a wail, then jerked and stopped moving.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Seeing this, Anthony was stunned, although he had also expected that with Duanmu Huai's physical strength, it would definitely not take too much time to deal with such a monster. But what Anthony didn't expect was that this man was so ruthless that he completely smashed the monster's head with a direct punch!
However, before Anthony could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, from all directions, a low roar came again!
"W-what's going on?"
Hearing this roar one after another, Anthony became nervous again.
"Obviously, there was more than one of them, maybe because I killed one of them, so these guys are starting to rage........."
"What then?"
At this time, Anthony also understood, and it was obvious that this group of monsters was like a pack of wolves, one wolf died, and of course the remaining wolves would not give up!
"It's simple."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai clenched the cane in his hand and waved it suddenly!
"It's good to kill them all!!"
"Roaring βββββ!!"
At the same time as Duanmu Huai said this, as if the other party also understood what he meant, the originally low roar suddenly turned into a sharp scream, and then the next moment, dense footsteps sounded from all directions, rushing in the direction where Duanmu Huai and Anthony were!
Anthony didn't know what to say about what happened next, he could feel those terrible monsters around him, and he could even feel the stench, disgusting horror of the other party's exhalation. But he couldn't see what those monsters looked like at all, he could only see Duanmu Huai clenching his fist in one hand and holding the staff in the other, waving it around angrily.
However, he didn't look like he was waving indiscriminately, in fact, every time Duanmu Huai waved his cane, Anthony could hear a "bang", like the sound of some animal being smashed. Then the piercing scream turned into a miserable wail. Duanmu Huai's whole person was like turning into a crazy storm that couldn't stop spinning, and he seemed to be in the eye of the storm, looking around, except for the storm's rolled up, torn fragments and whistling wind, he couldn't see or hear anything.
"Bang!!"
The cane in Duanmu Huai's hand swung down hard, only to see that it smashed on the monster's head, and saw that the thick, sturdy cane smashed the monster's head like a walnut from the middle like a hammer, and then it wailed and fell to the ground without moving.
"Humph! Rubbish! β
Duanmu Huai stepped on the monster's corpse, and then looked around. As the last monster was killed, silence returned to the entire exhibition hall. Perhaps because the monsters are dead, the space that seemed to be closed has been restored to its original state again, and the lights that had been extinguished have also been lit up again.
"Uh......... Knot, it's over? β
Feeling the sudden light, Anthony also opened his eyes and looked around, and after seeing the surrounding scenes, he couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that on the ground not far from the two of them, there were corpses of this terrifying shape everywhere, some of them had their heads smashed, some of them were directly torn to pieces, and there were dozens of them.........
This is something that one person can kill??
Anthony looked at the corpses of the monsters on the ground in surprise, and then looked at the Duanmu Huai beside him. Although in the event of an attack, Anthony also wanted to help. However, due to the darkness around and the translucent shape of these monsters, Anthony couldn't find a chance to shoot, and basically Duanmu Huai killed him alone.
I didn't expect him to be so capable of fighting.
Although he had expected it, Anthony was still in disbelief when he looked at the corpses in front of him. You know, even if it's a group of dozens of people, I'm afraid it's not so easy to kill them, let alone those translucent monsters.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"It's fine."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"What to do with these corpses."
"I'll take care of it."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Anthony also hurriedly took out his mobile phone to make contact. In general, the corpses left in such events will be completely destroyed. These monsters are no exception, except that ............ I'm afraid it's the first time I've encountered so many at once.
No, it should be the second time, after all, in the previous Innsmouth file report, there were reports of hundreds of half-human, half-fish monster corpses.
Well...............
Thinking of this, Anthony looked at Duanmu Huai with a strange expression.
He probably killed all those people, right?
If it were other investigators, Anthony probably wouldn't have such an idea, but now when Anthony witnessed how Duanmu Huai cut melons and vegetables to kill these monsters that were transparent and hidden in space, his thoughts suddenly changed.
No matter how powerful those half-human, half-fish monsters are, they can't be more powerful than this, right?
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Seeing Duanmu Huai looking at him, Anthony also coughed in embarrassment and diverted the topic.
"I've contacted the support staff and they'll be there in a moment......... So, is this matter settled? β
"Of course not."
"No ???"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Anthony was dumbfounded. He looked around in amazement, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Dozens of them have been killed, and they haven't been killed yet? How many are you going to kill?
But soon, Duanmu Huai's words answered Anthony's doubts.
"There's no way this museum is hiding dozens of monsters, so it's clear that they're supposed to have been teleported here through some kind of door, and we'll have to find that door."
"That's right."
At this time, Anthony also came to his senses, indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, it is impossible for this museum to hide dozens of monsters, they must be from somewhere. If you can't figure out where they come from, then it's useless to kill more here.
So soon, the two began to search again.
Fortunately, perhaps because these monsters were completely destroyed, this time, it didn't take long for the two of them to find a ruined oil painting in the corner of the wall of the exhibition hallβββ on which a monster without eyes and with a bloody mouth open.
Obviously, this is the monster.
And at the bottom of this painting, its origin is written.
"Empty Ghost" βββ Kristen Murphy, Department of Art, Miskatonik University. Donated by Cyrus.
"It's clear that we've found the clues."
Looking at the title under the painting in front of him, Duanmu Huai said lightly.
